About Me
In Japan we have a saying "Ichigo Ichie". It means "Once-in-a-lifetime chance" and it suggests one should always value encounters with people and that we should devote our heart to others.
When designing, I always try to make someone feel happy, even if just in some small way. In my previous work experience, I focused on putting the client first, but through studying web design, I have come to realize how important it is to design with the user in mind.
Since that realization, I decided to pursue a career in the field of web design. My goal is to engage a user-centred approach to web design, and collaboratively work with users to create websites that cater to their needs and enhance their online experiences.
